      ab: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by progressive, symmetric joint inflammation and subsequent joint deformity. The disease affects females four times more than males. Rheumatoid arthritis is a persistent inflammatory systemic autoimmune disorder causing symmetrical polyarthritis of small and large joints. It affects the lining of the joints, causing painful swelling that can result in bone erosion and deformity. Rheumatoid arthritis most commonly affects the joints of the hands, feet, wrists, elbows, knees and ankles. RA can affect other systems, such as the cardiovascular or respiratory systems, it is called a systemic disease. Systemic means "entire body". Homoeopathy is very effective in reducing the symptoms of joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Aim: To study the clinical presentation of Rheumatoid Arthritis and evaluate its homoeopathic management using individualized remedy selection through BBCR repertory analysis. Objective: To assess the role of individualized homoeopathic treatment in the management of Rheumatoid Arthritis and to demonstrate the usefulness of BBCR repertory in repertorial analysis and similimum selection based on characteristic symptoms. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted using a detailed review of the clinical features and homoeopathic management of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Symptoms related to Rheumatoid Arthritis were analyzed and evaluated according to homoeopathic principles. Repertorization was carried out using BBCR repertory, and the indicated remedies were studied with the help of Materia Medica. The therapeutic utility of individualized homoeopathic medicines in the management of Rheumatoid Arthritis was assessed through repertorial analysis and symptom correlation. Results: Analysis of the characteristic symptoms through BBCR repertory helped in identifying commonly indicated homoeopathic remedies for Rheumatoid Arthritis. The repertorial study demonstrated the usefulness of individualized remedy selection based on symptom similarity and clinical presentation. Conclusion: Homoeopathy provides a holistic and individualized approach in the management of Rheumatoid Arthritis. BBCR repertory proved to be an effective tool for repertorial analysis and individualized remedy selection. The case demonstrated improvement in clinical symptoms and quality of life, suggesting the potential role of homoeopathy as a supportive therapeutic approach in Rheumatoid Arthritis.
